Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur Calls Current AI Hype a 'Valuation Myth'

Imagine people are super excited about a new toy, AI.

Some people think this excitement is like a bubble that will pop soon, meaning the toy isn't really that great or worth all the fuss.

But a filmmaker named Shekhar Kapur says it's not the toy itself that's the problem, but rather the grown-ups who are making up really big numbers for how much it's worth, like inflating a balloon too much.

He says AI can be a really good tool to help everyone do things better and be more creative, like how a good kitchen tool helps you cook.

He compares it to houses getting super expensive, but the houses were still good houses, just the price was too high.

He also thinks big movie stars might not like AI because it could make it easier for everyone to make movies, which might change how they make money.

But he believes AI will make filmmaking more open for everyone.
